Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

A short while later, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Yuan Xin and Zhou Ran walked in. Without needing to know what had happened between the two, everyone could tell from the atmosphere between them that something was wrong, and no one dared to ask.

Yuan Xin looked extremely tired. She came in and sat down on the sofa without saying a word. She was somewhat surprised to see two more people in the living room, especially a child.

Shi Wanmeng poured a glass of water and handed it to her. Noticing her question, she smiled and said, "You should rest first. This is a long story, I'll tell you in detail later."

Yuan Xin smiled gratefully and drank the water in her cup in one gulp.

[Ahhh, this couple is so good! Do they have a couple name? If not, I'll come up with one myself.]

[Shi Wanmeng is so compatible with everyone, sob sob, I love her so much!]

[Our Brother Chen has to guard against both men and women, it must be exhausting!]

Shi Wanmeng's fans are shameless and love to piggyback on others' fame.

Is this an attempt to create a "charming" persona for Shi Wanmeng? Be careful of the backlash!

My sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, everyone likes her, do we need your permission? Who's really so shameless here?

Seeing a large number of trolls suddenly appearing in the comments section, Shi Wanmeng's fans immediately fought back, making the scene lively again.

When Xie Yunting returned after making the call, he said apologetically under Xiao Yajun's expectant gaze, "Your mother was worried, so she sent Butler Wang to pick you up."

The little girl's eyes visibly showed disappointment. Xie Yunting continued, "Butler Wang is estimated to arrive in more than an hour, so you can play a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoya's face immediately lit up: "Really?"

Xie Yunting nodded with a look of doting affection.

"Wow!" The little boy excitedly jumped into his arms, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Xie Yunting was about to reach out and pat her little head when the little girl turned and ran to Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing, snuggling up to them with a bright smile: "Sisters, sisters, I can play with you a little longer~"

Xie Yunting: "..."

Bah, you little ingrate.

[Does anyone understand what I find so appealing? I suddenly really like President Xie!]

[Me too... I've already imagined him taking care of our child, hehehe]

[Get out of the way, this is my husband!!!]

[You can earn money outside and take care of the kids at home, what more could you ask for?!]

[And he's handsome too!!]

Seeing that everyone had arrived and it was almost time, the director quickly cued the next step.

Director Wang: "Now, please take out today's revenue and count it."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present varied.

Huang Chen and Shi Wanmeng exchanged a glance, then each reached into their pockets, piecing together a handful of loose change and adding the money from their phones, totaling 708 yuan. Having spent the entire afternoon looking for people and wandering around aimlessly, they already knew their chances of winning were slim, so they felt no pressure.

After counting the money, the two looked at the other groups with gossipy expressions.

Li Zhao was counting his change with his head down, while Gu Ling was tapping away on her phone. They didn't talk much, and it seemed that this mission hadn't brought them closer, or even as close as they had been when they left in the morning.

Bai Zhu and Su Muqing were chatting and laughing, both looking excited and seemingly doing quite well.

Yuan Xin and Zhou Ran seemed to exist in two different worlds. Zhou Ran kept trying to strike up a conversation, but Yuan Xin remained expressionless, occasionally responding with a few words that lacked any emotional inflection. It seemed Yuan Xin was determined to have nothing more to do with Zhou Ran. Shi Wanmeng felt a pang of curiosity, like a cat's paw prying at her heart, intensely curious about their past.

"Is everything ready? Everyone, please announce your team's scores," Director Wang looked around and pointed the camera at Shi Wanmeng, who looked like she was giving up: "Let's start with you guys!"

Shi Wanmeng, looking fearless, shouted, "We are 708!" Then she naturally shifted her gaze to Bai Zhu's group next door, and the director's camera followed suit.

Bai Zhu nudged Su Muqing with her elbow, signaling her to speak.

Su Muqing looked at me with a "come praise me" expression, her tone slightly proud: "We have a total of 1074 yuan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera focused on Li Zhao and Gu Ling, and Gu Ling said calmly, "Let's make it 1182 yuan."

Su Muqing immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, met Gu Ling's eyes, and said lightly, "Wow, sister, you've really worked hard."

Gu Ling glared at her secretly, then immediately smiled and said, "My sister is the same."

I wasn't there, but I think I could smell the gunpowder.

[The person upstairs didn't smell wrong, I can vouch for it.]

[Sister, you've worked hard, and so has the younger sister.]

Hahahaha, that's so funny, he can even laugh so sincerely!

I believed their lies.

The director immediately shifted the camera to Yuan Xin and Zhou Ran, who were drenched in sweat.

Yuan Xin still didn't speak. Zhou Ran glanced at her cautiously and could only say hesitantly, "It's 594 yuan."

I just don't understand, what did Ran do to offend her? Why does she always have that long face?

Yuan Xin's appearance is so endearing!

[I came here to watch a sweet romance, and if you don't want to participate, just leave. What's with this behavior?!]

I just feel sorry for my brother, that's all.

Seeing Zhou Ran's fans turn the tables and accuse her, Yuan Xin's fans couldn't sit still any longer and came out to fight back.

I'll treat you the way you are, understand?

[If he's offended Xin Xin, let your brother step forward and say it himself, see if he has the nerve to admit it.]

[We watched the entire live stream today. If your brother hadn't been so incompetent yet still insisted on showing off, would all those things have happened? Can't other people have some feelings?]

[I feel sorry for Xin Xinzi. Zhou Ran should reflect on her actions.]

[You chose this goose yourself, but it doesn't know how to do anything. It won't move when no one comes to buy it, acting like a big shot. Meanwhile, Yuan Xin is still calling out to customers. Where's your brother?]

[You're quitting just because you don't want to date your brother? Do you own this show?]

Director Wang: "Alright, the results are in. Let's congratulate Li Zhao and Gu Ling on winning first place. Now you have the choice: share dinner or reorganize your teams?"

Gu Ling clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind, and said with a smile, "I don't care, I'll listen to Brother Li."

Li Zhao was somewhat surprised, thinking that Gu Ling would directly say she wanted to switch groups. After thinking for a moment, he still asked, "What are the rules for switching people?"

"If we change the team, we'll give each guest a 'heart card' so they can write down who they want to team up with," Director Wang said with a mysterious smile. "Of course, since we're completely reorganizing, we can't choose our current teammates."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Director Wang was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued, "Speaking of the benefits for the first place winner, if you and another guest both choose the same person, or if your choice does not result in a mutual success, then you have priority."

“That’s interesting,” Li Zhao chuckled softly. “Then let’s give it a try.”

Oh my god, this is pretty exciting!

[Li Zhao, I never expected you to be like this, Li Zhao]

Our Brother Zhao is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

Is this still a dating reality show? Hahaha, director, what are you thinking?

Come on, let's open a casino! Will there be a mutual selection process?

That's a good question. This season's dating reality show is quite different from others; I didn't realize it.
